Proposal to Deprecate GUJARATI RUPEE SIGN

L2/09-331 2009-10-07 Title: Proposal to Deprecate Source: Anshuman Pandey ([email protected]) Status: Individual Contribution Action: For consideration by UTC Date: 2009-10-07 1 Introduction This is a proposal to deprecate the character ૱ +0AF1 . The character is an abbreviation of the Gujarati word િપયો rūpiyo > rū. The character ૱ may be decomposed as ર +0AB0 + ◌ૂ +0AC2 + an abbreviation sign. The ligature is the common representation of + . The circle element is an abbreviation sign analogous to ॰ +0970 . The word ‘rupee’ is abbreviated in other scripts according to a similar composition, eg. Devanagari पया rupayā > ॰ ru. ( + + ). 2 Analysis The Government of introduced the to the Unicode Technical Committee through L2/01-304, as one of several additions for Gujarati. The UTC accepted the sign for encoding because “the symbol is not made from pieces that are already encoded Gujarati characters” (L2/01-430R: 7). The encoding of the abbreviation ૱ as an atomic character motivated India to propose the Devanagari analogue ॰ for encoding as (L2/04-236, L2/05-063). The UTC responded appropriately in L2/05-070, stating that the Devanagari currency sign is already representable by “Ra + U-sign + abbreviation sign”. Many currency signs are simple combinations of letters, e.g. sFr for Swiss Franc. Would need to establish that the proposal has a unique shape. Can add as named sequence. The is a simple combination of letters. It is not an atomic character. The shape ૱ is not a unique sign for representing currency in Gujarati; the abbreviation is also written as ‘.’ using the Latin fullstop in place of the circular abbreviation sign. The rationale for encoding should be reconsidered according to these positions. 3 Conclusion The should be deprecated and added as a named sequence. This requires the encoding of an for Gujarati, for which a proposal has been submitted (L2/09-330). If the proposal is approved, the character may be defined as + + : GUJARATI RUPEE SIGN; 0AB0 0AC2 0AF0 Future proposals for the addition of abbreviations as atomic characters in Indic scripts should considered in the light of UTC’s view that such characters are ‘simple combinations of letters’. Abbreviation signs are not yet encoded for several Indic scripts. They should be added as necessary to prevent the encoding of abbreviations as atomic characters and appropriately as character sequences..

A Study on Economic Dimensions of India and China
A Study on Economic Dimensions of India and China Sunil Kumar Das Bendi Modern Institute of Technology and Management, Bhubaneswar E-mail: [email protected] Tushar Kanta Pany HOD, School of Commerce, Ravenshaw University, Cuttack E-mail: [email protected] Abstract India and China are the two emerging economies of the world. They are the two most populous countries in the world who together account for more than a third of the world’s total population. A descriptive research study has been carried out for investigating the Gross Domestic Product of India and China in nominal and purchasing power parity basis. It also compares per capita gross domestic product and GDP growth rate of India and China. It also investigates the trends in the value of Chinese Yuan Renminbi (CNY) with Indian Rupee (INR). This paper also exhibits the market share in Foreign Direct Investment in Asia Pacific region in 2015. The dramatic rise not only enabled socio- economic upsurge of India and China but it also reshaped the regional and global trade trends. India replaced China as leading recipient of capital investment in Asia-Pacific with announced FDI of $63bn, as well as an 8 per cent increase in project numbers to 697. India faced various structural bottlenecks including delays in project approval, ill-targeted subsidies, a low manufacturing base and low agricultural productivity, difficulty in land acquisition, weak transportation and power networks, strict labour regulations and skill mismatches. Keywords : Foreign Direct Investment, Gross Domestic Product 1.0 Introduction Indo-China relations refer to international relations in 1978, China’s economic growth performance has been between the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and the truly dramatic.

Bimbikag for RSCIT: Free Software for Computer Exam Preparation
BimbikaG for RSCIT: Free software for computer exam preparation Insert Unicode Rupee Symbol in Document Learn how to type, insert or add the Indian Rupee (INR) symbol in MS Word document using Unicode. You can do so on computers with Indic language support. Indian government launched new symbol for the Indian currency on 15 July 2010. Earlier, a more general Rs. Symbol was used to indicate Indian Rupee (INR). From the word processing point of view it was much easier to type it because both the constituent characters (i.e. R and s) were available on English keyboard. But when the new and unique symbol was launched, there was a quite a bit of confusion as to how to type this new symbol in computer. In the beginning the problem was circumvent using an image of the symbol. But resizing and making this image fit in various fonts and font sizes was a big nuisance. But the problem was solved when, on 10 August 2010, a Unicode character was allocated for this symbol. Although the symbol itself was still missing from English keyboard –but this allocation was a big leap forward. Now it was possible to type this character using standard keyboard. How to Add / Type Indian Rupee Symbol in MS Word The Unicode character for Rupee sign is U+20B9 In your MS-Word document just type 20B9 and then press ALT + x keys. As soon as you press this key combination, the text 20B9 will be replaced by the Indian currency’s symbol. [ Note: If you want to use this sign in a web page, the HTML code for this is ₹ ] Unicode Rupee Symbol Still Not Appearing If instead Rupee symbol, you are getting some other sign (like a question mark or a square box) –this means that your computer is not yet Unicode enabled.

IIT Graduate Gives Indian Rupee Its Symbol
IIT graduate gives Indian Rupee its symbol Press Trust of India, Updated: July 16, 2010 00:05 IST Comments Ads by Google HDFCERGO Health Insurance – Now Claim Process with minimum documents. Apply Online Today! HDFCERGO.com/Health_Insurance Click to Expand & Play New Delhi: The Indian rupee will soon have a unique symbol -- a blend of the Devanagri 'Ra' and Roman 'R' -- joining elite currencies like the US dollar, euro, British pound and Japanese yen in having a distinct identity. The new symbol, designed by Bombay IIT post-graduate D Udaya Kumar, was approved by the cabinet today -- reflecting that the Indian currency, backed by an over-trillion dollar economy, was finally making its presence felt on the international scene. (How do you like the symbol?) "It's a big statement on the Indian currency... The symbol would lend a distinctive character and identity to the currency and further highlight the strength and global face of the Indian economy," Information and Broadcasting Minister Ambika Soni told reporters after the cabinet meeting. Though the symbol will not be printed or embossed on currency notes or coins, it would be included in the 'Unicode Standard' and major scripts of the world to ensure that it is easily displayed and printed in the electronic and print media. Among currencies with distinctive identities, only the pound sterling has its symbol printed on the notes. Unicode is an international standard that allows text data to be interchanged globally without conflict. After incorporation in the global and Indian codes, the symbol would be used by all individuals and entities within and outside the country.
